OUR LITTLE GHOST.

OFT In the silence OF the night
When the lonely moon Tidos high
, When wintry winds src whistling,
And We hear the owls shrill cry
In the quiet, dusky chamber,
BY the hlckering nrellght,
Rising up between two sleeperA
Comes spirit all In white.
A winsomc little ghost II is,
Rosy-checked and bright OF eye,
With yellow curls all breaking loose
From the small cap pushed awry,
Up II climbs among the pillows;
For the "big dark" brings no dread
And a baby's busy fancy
Makes kingdom OF bed
Fearless little ghost II is,
Safe tho night as In the dayi
The lonely moon to 1t Is fair,
The signing winds TO It are gay,
The solitude Is full Of friends,
And the hour brings no regrets;
For In this happy little sou
Shines sun that never 6, 70
A merry little ghost II is,
Dancing gayly by itself
On the nowery counterpanc,. =
Like tricky household elf; 4
Nodding to the fltful shadows VI ,
As they flicker on the wall, 4
Talking to familiar pictures,
Mlmicklng the owls shrlll call
A thoughtful little ghost 1t is,
And, when lonely gambols tire,
With chubby hands on chubby knces
Sits winkiug at the fire.
Fancics innocent and lovely
Shines before those baby eyes
Sunny fields Of dandellons,
Brooks and birds and butterflleA
A lovely little ghost 1t Is
When crept into its nest,
Its hand on fathers shoulder laid.
Its head on mothers breast.
1t watches each familiar face
With tranquil trusting eye,
And, like sleepy little bird,
Sings Its own soft lullaby.
Then those who felgned to sleep before
Lest baby play till dawn,
Wake and watch their folded flower.
Little rose without thorn
And In the silence Of the night
The hearts that love 1t most
Pray tenderly above its sleep,
''God bless our little ghostl"

How a Bank Was Robbed.

A detective tells this story of bank
robbery as it was told to him by par
ticipant in it: 'In this case the cashier
was squirt of fellow, about twenty
three years of age. The cashiers den
Twas not rallied off and Gagged in in those
lays as now, and they were not SO care
lu1 of their piles of money. This chap
'eemed proud to pile up the bills and
loin around him. The only man to be
fraid of was the bOokkecper. He was
bald-headed old fellow of 45, had his
place next to the cashier, and what he
I.idn't see and hear was not worth atten-
lion. The manager and the collector
we're in the bank much of the time, but
1T two o'clock always went out some
there, and were gone a full half hour.
Ibis left only the cashier and bookkeep-
or to deal with.
"There were two of us in the job, and
fter we had piped off the bank until we
knew it, 1 entered the place one morn
lag and asked to see the manager. |

rOmpany for the manufacture of bank,
office, and railroad clocks, and as an adj
sertisement for our concern would put
up q timepiece on the wall and let it re-
inain year free gratis. The clock then
on hand was n cheap affair, and the
manager jumped at my offer. Iselected
the place for it, and told him it should
be hung up during the afternoon.
eve had piped the old bald head off
several days before, and knew just how
we were going to manage him. He lived
at least mile away, and just after two
ha tIun of
alone in the bank, boy came in with a
note telling him that his wife had re-
ceived a serious fall. He clapped ON his
hat and started for home, just as we had
planned, and | entered the place in COM
pany with my partner. He had clock
on his arm which had cost us thirty dol
Oars. The opinion of the smart cashier
was asked ON various details, and he
came out in front of the counter and
gave orders about where the clock should
be put up. While he was dancing
around some evil-minded person put
So, 900 in gold and bills into an old
isatchel and then stood around until the
clock was up. The reason he didn't
clean out the bank was because two OF
three outsiders dropped in to see the
clock. When we went out it was to get
into hired buggy and drive away, and

tie mean over that job. You see, the
cashier was young squirt who couldn
have held his own with common thief,
and it was no credit for us to beat him.
That wasn't the last time 1 saw him,
however. -Four years later, while l was
taking vacation at Joliet, for carrying
off some diamonds belonging to Chi

beside me one day. He was a puzzle to
me for while, but by and by 1 located
him as the cashier of the Dayton bank.

concern, and had gone the way of many

law. When | told him who l was, he
had nothing but praise for the clock
trick, saying that he did not miss the
money until the bank closed

"Paying Crops of Potatoes"

Mr.. John d. Tompkins, Brainard, N.
Y, who started out several years ago to
raise paying crops of potatoes, and
harvested last season 800 bushels per
acre, communicates some useful hints as
to labor saving in the chronic struggle
against those twin parasites, weeds and
beetles:
''They We're planted in drills three
feet apart, seed dropped at intervening
spaces from fifteen to eighteen inches
in the drills, and covered with hoes by
hand. Immediately after planting a
large iron spoonful of special fertilizer
for potatoes WAS dropped on top of each
hill and Acme harrow set to work over
the field; this narrowing not only SO
mixed the fertilizer with the soil, dis
tributing it 50 the plant could feed upon
it throughout the entire season, but as
some days had elapsed since the ground
was narrowed and the time of the year
being favorable to quick upsprin8lng of
grass and weeds, our first hOelng was
done.
Gas soon as the plants were up enough
to follow the row they We're ploughed
under with q two-horse plough. This
both shielded the first leaves from the
hungry beetles and gave the rootlets an
opportunity to obtain a degree of reserve
force, that when leaves next appeared
they were sufficiently vigorous to take
possession of the hill, almost entirely
excluding weeds. The effect of another
narrowing after ploughing was to SO
demoralize grass roots that our second
cultivation and hoeing was already ac-
complished. The culture then consisted
of running cultivator through once or
twice in u row each week until the first
appearance of blows, after killing mod
erately with q double mould-board
plough.
Meantime bugs were kept in check
by liberal applications of Paris green
and plaster in proportions of one to 125
pounds. Paris green with water is not
only expensive to apply effectually, but
is liable to burn the leaves to a great
extent which proves as detrimental to
the growing tuber as though bugs had
eaten the foliage. In early July the
branches almost met, soon completely
covering the ground, SO that through
dry weather following when a slight
shower did fall, its moisture was held for
the roots to draw upon, until the next
shower. Thus while many potato fields
through this section were literally dry
ing up, ours continued green until fully
matured "

Literally Out of the Jaws of Death.

The Savannah Neac8 saws: The New
Orleans express, leaving here at LAT p.
m, on "Wednesday, was running along
at the rate of forty miles an hour, be-
tween Cairo and Whigham, when the
engineer Jenkins, locomotive go on mp
preaching Big Tide Creek, discovered a
man making his way over the trestle-
work. Finding that he would not have
time to get across ahead of the swiftly
approaching train, the man, large,
stout individual, endeavored to drop be-
tween the ties SO as to hold on by his
hands while the train should pass over
him. To the horror of the engineer,
however, the man caught by the waist
and hung there between the rails with
his head and shoulders sticking up, an
object of certain destruction if the train
should strike him. Engineer jenkins
sprang off his seat, damned the air
brakes down as tightly as the could be
put on and reversed his huge engine,
one of the largest on the road, and
"Dulled her Open" The mans cries
were described as fearful as he hung
there awaiting almost certain death, and
his feelings can perhaps never be de-
scribed. He must have died mentally n
dozen times, but, almost tremendously,
the No. 63 came to a stop, kissing and
trembling, when the pOnderous cow
catcher was within three feet of the I'M
fortunate man. He was rescued from
his peIilous position, and went his way
rejoicing at his almost miraculous cs-
cape. But for Engineer Jenkins's
prompt and efficient efforts, and his care
and Watchfulness the man, whose name
is unknown, would have died n most
horrible death. AS it is, he will hardly
care to venture upon such another eX-
pertinent as crossing trestle ahead Of

The Lime-Kiln Club.

In view of the recent disastrous OK
blossoms and confagrations in different
sections of the country, the Committee
ON Personal Safety and Non-Injury have
recommended the following rules to
members of the club:
"Doan' scratch a match on yer leg

John SAKE and His Daughter.

A writer in the Kansas City jour
nal relates this anecdote of the late
John G. SAKE and his favorite daughter,
Sarah. 1t was the custom of the family
to spend much of each summer at Sara
tOga. One summer it was decided that
Sarah should remain ut home in charge
of the younger children instead of ac-
cOmpanying her parents, as had been
her former custom. This decision
reused the wrath of the young lady, and
awakened all that latent obstinacy
which her father claimed for her in
vain she demonstrated her best cloth
ing was put under lock and key, her
parents departed, charging her to be a
good girl and to content herself until
their return. The season was Mt its
height and many persons brilliantly
conspicuous III literary circles were ga
thered under the flashing of the water
ing-placc chandeliers. SAKE held his
court ut one end of the saloon that
August evening, and sat conveniently
facing the entrance door, when ser
want announced "Miss Sake" The
poet raised his cye-glass to behold
Sarah, q miss of sixteen, haunhtily
sweeping down the grand parlors,
dragging after her her mothers best
winter gown of velvet, and glittering
with her mothers trinkets. 1t was
warm work enduring that heavy, oppres-
sive finery, but for three days father
and daughter held their little indepen-
dent courts at the famous Watering
place, each ignoring the others presence
"a clear case of Greek meet Greek. "
At the end of that time Sarah was igno-
miniously taken home by her father and
duly punished,

JOHN HOWARD PAYNE'S LOVE.
Death of the Woman TO "hom
"Home, Sweet Home" was Adj
dressed.

A singular woman was buried at
Athens, Ga, whose life has been 70
nance. In her coffin was placed the
original copy of "Home, Sweet Home,
which had been addressed to her by
John Howard Payne, who was then q
sutton for her hand Miss Mary Harden,
the daughter of Gen. Harden, OF Savan-
hah, is the lady whose name is thus link
ed with the great household hymn.
Miss Harden had been living for many
years secluded life, rarely passing be-
yond the threshold of her own doml-
cilo Years ago she was young and
attractive maiden, in all the freshness
If young womanhood. At that time she
,let John Howard Payne, the author of
Home, Sweet Home" Time and again
e offered her his hand and his heart.
! he liked him not well enough to wed
!,.im, but her friendship for him was
sufficiently strong to cause her to treas
tlre his memory, and preserve with al
!lost religious reverence the few memen-
los of her former and long since dead
lover.
Frequently has she been importuned
by autograph hunters and Speculation to
l,art with the manuscript of ''Home,
IjWect Home" One gentleman, the
gent of a well known magazine, offered
;ler $500 for the manuscript, but she re-
fused him, saying: 81 have been offered
,aany times $500 for it." 1t is said
by some who have seen the original
That the manuscript is interlined with
love messages and other tokens of at
lection in Paynes handwriting, and the
TACT that these tokens of once breath
ing love would be put before the public
deferred her from ever parting with it.
It is not known by any one what dis
position she has made of this document.
st is even limited that she destroyed it,
fearing, in case of her death, that it
might fall into other than friendly hands,
and love that was once sacred and ten
der to her become a sport and n jest with
the world. But the general opinion is
that it was buried with her.
Miss Harden was lady of advanced
age. Her father, the late Gen. Harden,
was at one time q very wealthy man,
but after the war most of his fortune
was swept away. When he died his
daughter applied herself to the task of
recovering most of the property, and
succeeded in getting back much of it.
Her natural talents were great and
varied. She wrote and spoke several
languages, especially being proficient in
French. For many years she was i'll the
employ of well known publishing houses
in the North, her work being translating
the works of French authors into Eng
aish. She not only maintained herself
by this work, but was successful in lay,
ing aside each year snug sum, which
was applied to the object she ever had
in view, regaining possession of the
property of her father. It is not known
how much her estate will be worth. 1t
has been considerably reduced. At one
time it was large, but now the largest
estimates do not placeit beyond $25, 900.

the cave while the guides We're off duty,

The Chinaman Has No PreiudiCes.

An illustration of the difficulty at
tending the discovery of the real c0ndi-
ton of the Chinese mind in regard to
the progressive policy obtaining in west
ern countries is contained in the follow
ing aneodote, for the authenticity of
which the writer can vouch. A bishop
of the Episcopal church was returning
from China with his servant, whom he
thought he had converted to Christian
ity. Whenever the bishop held SER
vices in the cabin of the steamer in
which they were both passengers, the
servant attended and took part very de-
voutly in the responses, etc. One day
a passenger observed the Servant on his
knees worshiping an image of Buddha,
with candles and ioss-sticks, and he ask
ed the servant if he was not Christian,
and elected the following reply: AS
am in the employment of the bishop it
is my duty to observe the Christian Ger
emonies when my master does so; but

faith. "-B0stos1 Advertiser.

Mr.. Depew and the English Lord.

Apropos of English lack of humor,
Butterworth on the Hon. Chauncey NJ.
Depew:
Depew was visiting London on one
occasion, and was entertained at din
ner of the lords of the realm. Being
called on for speech, he began by say
ing that he arose with much embarrass-
ment before such a company for the rca-
son that his friend, Gen. Horace Porter,
who usually wrote for him the remarks
he made on such occasions, was absent.
He then went on to make the best of the
situation, and made what he thought
was fairly funny speech; but not a
sign of appreciation was given, and he
sat down feeling that he had made a
failure. His feeling was verified when
he heard the presiding lord express sor-
row that Mr.. Depew was deprived of the
assistance of his friend, for they had
understood he was capital after dinner
speaker.
Two days later he met the presiding
lord, who said:
"Oh, Mr.. Depew, do you know that
j have come up to London expressly to
say to you that L did not see the humor
of your speech until the day after the
dinner. 1 am sorry we were all so
stupid, but now we all agree that it was
u capital speech, and that we wasted our
sympathy in taking your reference to
your friend Porter as in earnest"
T. "My lord, said Depew, "did you
ride to London on freight train p
"No. Oh, no." said the lord, in a
tone of surprise. 81 came on the pas
senger train. l never ride on freights. -
-Four days later Mr.. Depew was as
tonished to see this lord in Paris.
81 have come" said the lord, sex
pressly to tell you that / never saw the
?oint of your question about my riding
London on freight train until the
ext day; why, sir, that's finer bit of
Imor than the other about your friend
Porter"
Mr.. Depew was satisfied that to
iaatter humor among the English was
unsatisfactory.
